Most residential properties in Pretoria have backyard Lapas and swimming pools. These areas are ideal for hosting friends and family over weekends and holidays. If you are in the market for a built-in braai in Pretoria that can be a perfect addition to your Lapa, Home Fires has you covered. Since most Lapas lend themselves to versatility and functionality, it only makes sense to add a braai to yours.
The Process of Buying and Installing a Braai in Your Lapa
- Identifying the Ideal Spot: You want your built-in braai to have an ideal spot in your Lapa. Somewhere that is accessible without taking up any valuable room. You also want to install your braai away from any materials and objects that could catch on fire from an ember or spark that is produced by an open charcoal or woodburning fire. Planning is everything during such a process, and thinking through various elements beforehand will work in your favour.
- Using a Brick-Masoned Cavity and Chimney: Most Lapas will already have a chimney that is linked to a brick-masoned cavity to fit a braai. However, if your Lapa doesn’t have one, you can always construct one to house your ideal built-in braai. If you are going this route, we recommend that you first choose the specific braai that you want and then construct the chimney and cavity to match its dimensions.
- Choosing The Correct Built-In Braai: This choice is dependent on various factors. These factors include:
- Your Available Budget: You do not want to overspend on a built-in braai for your Lapa. There are several options that are bound to fit within your budget. Our Economaster range offers an entry-level option that doesn’t compromise on build quality or functionality. However, if you want to invest in a braai that can do it all, our Combo range is the perfect choice.
- Your Preferred Flavour Profile: You want a braai that allows you to achieve your preferred flavour profile when cooking meat. Our options cover woodburning, charcoal, and gas-powered braais to choose from.
- Your Preferred Construction Material: Most of our Home Fires built-in braais are constructed with mild steel. However, on special order, you can get specific braais in 3CR12 steel or 304-stainless steel instead.
